Megaman 3 speedrun non TAS 1 of 6

This is not intended to be a world record setting, glitching, eye popping video. I wasn't trying to be perfect. It's my "practice" entrance into speedrunning.
This part is me starting off like I used to, with Magnetman, followed by Hardman and Topman. The weird ladder climb at Magnetman, and the jump at the beginning of Topman into the flying bolt was because my controller is awesome. It happens here and there in my vids. I was a little impatient fighting protoman at Hardman's stage, and turned to shoot at Hardman just a bit too soon. A decent start to a fun run. Enjoy.

I definitely like this more than TAS. I've played this game so many times I could probably give you a run for your money. Good job, though.  It's nice to see skill and memorization rather than just cheap TAS which gets boring.

@donladdoland Thank you, and I'd enjoy a race on this game. I agree on TAS. I will say though that it takes a long time and research to make TAS videos, but way more to do this. I give props to the guys at speeddemosarchive and a few other sites that showcase record setting videos, this stuff is HARD. Glad you liked the video.

not bad, not bad at all. i can see this is more of a skill based, cautious speed run and not entirely reckless. you seem to know the games patterns extremely well. i understand magnet man first, but you know... after a while, shadow mans stage isnt bad at all... even the second time around. more on the next ones as i watch 'em.

@Darthstone01 I'm fairly happy with all the videos, but I can do much better. I was trying to stay within the 10 min limit, and ended up rushing a few spots, and having a terrible run at snakeman's stage and a bad run against heatman 2.0... I didn't want to use save states or die or use energy tanks either, but after over 24 hours of solid playing and resets, I had to cave on the E tanks and sacrifice. Thanks for the input, I appreciate it

I like it! What controller are you using? Don't be afraid to button mash, ever. Great run otherwise, you just taught me the RIGHT way to do the blocks XD

[garvensman]

@LysoltheFailCat I used an Xbox 360 controller, that's why I messed up a few times, like on the ladder, the analog stick is NOT meant for 2d games LOL

There are a lot of situations where you kill enemies when you shouldn't. If you are going to do that, might as well go for a no damage speed run. Good job still though.

LMAO! HARD MAN!!!!!!!!!!

Usually it's faster, but it makes Shadow Man's stage faster having the magnet missiles, so I don't have to wait for the falling parachute guys. I wanted to have some fun with this video plus I wanted to start it off with a flawless level and boss, and I routinely make it through Magnet Man without taking a hit.
